Gadd does it like it's nothing. It's almost like he's thinking "Hmm, okay, my drum solo... let's switch grips... a little of this, a little of that...." And everybody else can only watch and wonder how the hell he does it. Every sound matters with Gadd's solos, yet he never ever loses the groove.

@Axberry he does have a unique sound
-
That was one of the tastiest solos I have ever heard.

It really is nice to see some actual talent, rather than all the heavy metal crap like Kiss and Metallica. What a brilliant line up of some of the best and my personal favourite musicians! Keep grooving hard guys! :D

I HAD to buy the video---Gadd is king,the groovemaster---I don't care what style you play---I've been teaching and playing over 45 years,We can ALL learn something from Steve Gadd.

and you can look his double bass drum work on this, same concert : watch?v=6DNyrLyYzQA

@lexbrekelmans Yes I look two beaters, please look at this better and listen sound of bass drum on the end. From 1:38 and triplets he played unisono with beaters. You can see it good on Steve Gadd Master series, where he played drum solo on 3/2 clave

@Axberry look at that pedal, you see two beaters??
I stand corrected---Gadd doesn't need a double pedal,BUT,according to my sources that are close,he wants to show he can be contemporary---He doesn't need to prove anything,because he invented contemporary drumming as we know it----Play in time,play the groove,play for the song.The essence of drumming

@ralfodrum great words. Steve Gadd is the man of drumming. He started to use double pedal late, maybe in 1992...but I like his double pedal work with licks, pocket playing...Gadd is God :D
